Ocean's entrancing vocals range from breathy tones to the intensity of impassioned acrobatics, on grooves ranging from powerpop to street funk to mesmerizing hypnotica.

“RIDE THE CURRENT AND DISCOVER A TIDAL WAVE OF TALENT! ONCE YOU’VE HEARD OCEAN’S MUSIC, YOU’LL BE ADDICTED LIKE THE REST OF US!"

- DJ Now U.K.

Ocean's Second CD, Ocean Rises on a Beautiful Current of Exotic and Satiny Style. Her Vocal Gifts Accentuate a Lush Caribbean Feel and Tribal Rhythms.

Ocean's voice is a unique instrument of multi-octave sensuality, compared to Blondie, Madonna, Evanescence, and Sade, also like a sultry, female Robert Plant or Prince, with hints of Al Green.

"In some of the songs, her voice rises to the heights of a chanteuse and in others her street-wise punkish voice is pure pop." - From The Source

"On Mermaid Music, Ocean's debut CD, Ocean took us on a vocal voyage through all music styles, showcasing her eclectic range of talent.

In some of Ocean's numbers, her voice is compelling and croony, and in some, a purely pop radio star sound is heard. Other songs showcase her grungy metal fare, like the spell-binding Cool Way to Do, a metal durge, reminessant of Ozzie Osborne's Black Sabbath. Siren Song, an enchanting number story-telling tune, Ocean's voice is rather like Sarah MacLaghlin's, and Love-Junkie is a great rock funk song with raps like a female 50Cent. Upset has Ocean writing and singing like an RandB-savvy songstress, and Sting and Sade would feel at home on Hot Nights. Evanescence is comparable on Pegasus, and recalling early sixties jazz scatters like Peggy Lee, Nothing Special is actually exactly that. My favorite, I Want, the first track on the CD is a masterful study in hypnotic groove trance, and the sizzling exotic rocker, Snake Hips takes you on a ride back to the pure states of rock found only in Hendrix or Ten Years After of even The Mothers of Invention.

Ocean has created a CD running the range of pop genres and of influences, and her vocals are great enough for this journey, as the promo states, through the seven seas." - Popular Pop

OCEAN UNVEILS NEW CD, “OCEAN”

Ocean, acclaimed Artist-songwriter and producer, has a new CD debuting in Autumn, 2009. Entitled, simply, ‘Ocean’, it showcases the mesmerizing and lush vocals she is known for, and, this time, in a more relaxed, adult-contemporary vein. The songs on the self-titled CD are luxurious, melodic numbers, often with romantic themes- but some run toward the darker realms of mythic realms, and toward the exotic in structure, rhythm, and style. Overall, the listener is lured into a sensual dream of sound, seduced by Ocean’s haunting vocals.

Her well- received and eclectic first release, Mermaid Music, was, in the words of one reviewer,

“Sultry and exotic, as her image would suggest,…slick and well-crafted..(with) psychedelic funk workouts..prepare to be entranced.” - The Power of Pop

"Her song, “Love-Junkie”, a metal-rap number, has proven to be a popular cross-over perennial, and “Siren Song”, a favorite on AAA stations.Her vocal talents are unique and vast in both in range and style, and her songwriting puts her in that rare category of artists who can do both equally well. Ocean’s delivery on some of these softer rock songs remind one of Sade and Sting, while some of her stronger vocal runs can be compared to those of Evanescence. From echoes of Astrid Gilberto’s sandy island sound to Nina Simone’s gravelly soul, Ocean’s new vehicle, Ocean, puts her in the league of some of our preeminent female vocalists." - Popular Pop

"Ocean reminds me of Sade in some songs, but she still has her own distinct and unique voice. She has a great range and tone." - Poptarts

Ocean, Producer

OCEAN offers her talents as producer on various music projects, as well as producing her own songs, which are also available to other artists. Through her world travels, and her acquaintance with myriad musical styles, Ocean has developed a fresh approach to producing music, utilizing the basic American elements of funk-driven dance beats and diversifying into more exotic musical horizons like Turco-Arabic melodic and rhythmic structures, African cross-rhythmic fusion, and other world flavors.

As a prolific songwriter, Ocean has wide interest in many styles of music and is just as adept at creating basic American blues-based music like rock, and pop, or country and western based music as she is at more international sound.

By applying her unique vision to music production, Ocean provides that magical touch of sophistication needed to ignite new projects which create universal interest in works of all kinds. She has the wide range of musical taste, from hard punk metal or r&b rap groove to rhapsodic melodic that a producer needs in order to bring out the best in each song.

"I'm always looking for something different, some new musical world to explore. The music that Ocean has created was something that really opened my mind and it proved to be a good example of how creative an artist can be. "Mermaid Music," which features fourteen songs and has a running time of over an hour, is a magical musical playground of styles that are blended together with the exotic flavors of many cultures and the end result is a captivating collection of material that will take you to a musical world unlike anything you have ever dreamed possible."

- Music Monthly, U.S.

Ocean is of Scandinavian descent, and has traveled the world. She produces her music in different places, using diverse musicians and engineers, and her music shows the multi-ethnic influences of cultures she's visited, while remaining in basic American elements of funk and groove.

MERMAID MUSIC, a spiritually free undulating work with hints of tribal, electronic, dance and street funk. Since MERMAID MUSIC was largely influenced by her world travels, her music touches many cultures and embraces exotic elements in a style she calls, "Hypnofunk". Some tunes are based on "Homegrown Funk," her idea of the distillation of blues, rock, & funk. Her lyrics are at the same time street wise and lyrical, often drawing on mythic themes. Her song, 'Love Junkie', which is a cross-over hit, is in a style she has termed, "metalfunk", and it features both metallic riffs and sultry raps. At times, the sophistication of cross-rhythmic fusion accents the intricacies of her multi-leveled vocals.

"You remind me of Sade in some songs, but you still have your own distinct and
unique voice. You have a great range and i love the tone of your singing. Did
you study music? You write brilliant songs too." - Recent Review of Ocean's Music
